"A lot of them look down on us 'English' and really dislike the 'English' women and won't even speak or do business with us, but want our husbands." I dunno what is meant by the above comment.......is it said in a joking way or what? I don't get it. I live in an amish town (most of my...

I don't mean to alarm you, but in my experience, fast rapid breathing can be a sign of distress or pain. Please call the vet if he's not better this morning -- truly hope he is better! Also have had one case of equine pneumonia in 23 years of horsekeeping & there was no coughing at all and no...

It helps greatly -- yeah, that IS me! It's happened before, but it always surprises me. Thanks so much. I really do appreciate it. :

Could someone who has online access to AMHR studbook look up these horses for me, pretty please? I sold them years ago & am wondering who they are registered to. Perhaps still to me. Could be! Both are mares: Little Wee Unexpected Pleasure and her dam Moss Grove Miss Dolly (I think!! It was...

I rarely come over to the Back Porch, but for some reason, I did today. I guess it would be so I would read this post & count my blessings - again. Over my life, it would be impossible to list all of the generous things people have done for me. I've taken this quote, however, my own website...

Wow -- Very informative sites........thanks for straightening me out. I wonder where I got the inverted V above the hooves thing? Anyone know what that's about? (aside from my being nuts) You know, when you read & read & read, sometimes things blur in memory. Thanks so much, Qtrrae.

Hi -- A few years ago, I stumbled across a site or two that discussed "tiger appaloosas." As I recall, they are leopard, but have the distinction of having semi-colored lower legs, with an inverted "V" of white just above the hoof. I seem to remember them being associated with the originals in...

Just speaking from our own experience (I'm not a vet), we had a little filly who developed pneumonia upon weaning. Upon vet's recommendation, we gave her SMZ 2x a day for 15 days. No harm to her. I would too say at least 2x a day. 1 pill per 100 pounds. Sometimes, when just one nostril is...

I can't get any sale clicks to work either. Darn!

Oh Sharon.................All I have to say is "WOO HOO!" He's beautiful. Congratulations!!

Just FYI, a half-blue eye is properly called a hectochromatic eye.

Do they need dewormed? Has it been a long time? Have they been dewormed recently? A load of worms can really do a job on their energy level. Just my 2 cents worth.........and searching for ideas for you. Sometimes worming with something very safe more often than recommended helps. I don't mean...

Hi Jessie -- I'd suggest you do a google search for anything miniature horses. There is tons, but you'll need to do the research to find the info you need. Also, right here on the Lil Beginnings site, there's a lot of info too. Check it out = a great lot of into all in one place. :bgrin...

Maybe I should keep quiet too............but.............I only saw the pic on the website & the little one shown there is so adorable. Inside me, however, I know the true dwarf story & my heart breaks. However, I am and many many of us here are breeders & know the problem of billing it as the...

I appreciate those who answered here. Ok, so I'll get busy on this as soon as I can make time. Hopefully, over this coming weekend (or earlier). Since I already have the names/numbers of those who responded by snail mail, I could probably add those right in when I start the petition online...

Oops I guess I'd better reword possible answers for question #1............could you tell me to DISPLAY NAMES or KEEP NAMES HIDDEN> I'm guessing you two who already answered want to KEEP NAMES HIDDEN. Right?

Ok, so I followed Ivytoro's suggestion about getting an ONLINE petition about stopping common word suffix reservation by AMHR. But, I need to know how you folks would prefer this to be presented to you, the potential petitioners. 1.) When setting up the petition, there is a choice to be made as...

Yes, I will still accept petitions, of course, but I'm not getting on the soap box for them anymore. I feel I've tapped this forum as much as is acceptable for this issue. Please send any you want to. Maybe we'll get enough in a year! I was hoping to at least bring it to BOD attention, although...

So..........The grand total of petition signatures I received was -- are you ready? -- 34. That's THIRTY FOUR!! Therefore, Little Wee Piece of Brocolli and Little Wee Spare Tire will be ready to hear their registered names called at show rings in about 2008. By then, there won't be many other...

He is very cute, but I'm sorry to say, that I'd have to go with the estimate of dwarfism. The first two pix above made me wonder, but the last one capped it. I have had two dwarfs in my long breeding career & those horses that produced them are no longer with me. (lost in the fire, but going to...
